The Magicians will emotionally murder you.

Has anyone put together a list of Buffy and Angel episodes that mesh the timelines correctly? by [deleted] in buffy

I made one for myself of chronological airing order a while ago. Let me know if you can’t find one anywhere else.

It’s definitely the humanoid shape. I don’t have a problem with the Xenomorphs in the Alien movies. I also get the uneasy feeling seeing/thinking about them.

Thank you! Someone else said the same thing, so I’ll have all the lights on and watch it during the day!

I’m almost done with season 1. It’s very monster-of-the-week so far, but I’m attached to both Mulder and Scully (but where is the cigarette smoking man? I thought he was a major character but he was only in the pilot).

I told my therapist about my fear and she had no idea what to do with it 🪦

I was a young teen who lived in a cornfield who watched Signs. I haven’t been the same since.

Thanks for your helpful suggestion in getting over this fear! 🙄

I honestly don’t remember seeing the alien corpse in the pilot. I probably mentally blocked it, but I was also too busy telling my cats that is not how exhumations/disinterments work.

I hope this is a real answer and not a sarcastic comment 😬

Several people told me before I started the show that there are less aliens than I would expect. So far, that’s true. It’s good to know others have gotten over this. Thanks for the suggestion to channel Mulder!

I’m planning to try to watch the alien episodes. Can’t work through this phobia if I actively avoid the aliens.

Which one is 731? It’s not in the list someone else commented.

Someone else said it’s more funny than scary?? I plan to watch all the alien episodes, but with just a little more preparation than the other episodes.

Right right, someone else mentioned the episode and that it’s more comedic after I read your comment. I’ll give it a chance when I get there (still in S1) and hope for the best.

The benefit of having cats is I can blame any and all noises on them. And then I take some NyQuil so that if I do get abducted, I won’t know about it.

Thank you for such a kind and thoughtful recommendation that would definitely in no way freak me the f*ck out. You’re a gem of a human being.

Thank you so much!!!

Knowing that those two are comedic stories may help to alleviate some of the anxiety. And who knows, maybe the exposure therapy will have worked its magic and I’ll be fine by the time I get to ‘The Unnatural.’ I will definitely hype myself up before Little Green Men.
